Daylight temp. lamp for a PAR64 fixture

Sorry to have wasted so much of you guy's time, this thread has really gotten of track.

I tried to keep the post simple, shoestring budget, PAR64 lamp, daylight color temperature, does it exist?
I think I also posted that I was helping someone else out with their project, renting the "proper" equipment was out of the question. An ARRI M18 would have done the job, $275 for the rental doesn't exist. No one with half a brain is going to loan someone their HMI lighting equipment.
Throw distance not too relevant, fixture(s) would be seen could be positioned for optimum effect, light beam flagged and shaped as necessary.
Likewise buying material and building something, be it a homemade fluoro fixture with daylight tubes, also out of the question. Not going to happen for something that's needed only once and with the budgetary constraints.

If the fabled daylight PAR64 globe existed, it would have been the solution. Person owns or has access to the PAR cans. PAR bulbs could possibly be rented at someplace like Shadowstone.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.
 
I think the early posters nailed the answer to the post for the most part in especially their kudo’s. This in re-read up until you said the CTB gels reduced output too much.
Just checked a Rosco E-Colour swatch book, #201 Full C.T. Blue, it in going from 3,2K to 5,7K. It doesn’t list a transmisition reduction percentage. In quick color blind eyes look, it’s similar to Roscolux #364 Blue Bell with 32% transmission. I see your problem but also wonder if even similar in looking at the sample, if actual spectrum of light transmission is the same and CT gel is the same as gel or not in not listing transmission ratios perhaps because they also transmit the other parts of the spectrum.
Don’t know. Should be simple but perhaps not.

Interested in Regies’ “Bounce” type of lighting I have not read up on the concept of unless it shining against a color in a really old concept. Wondering if it’s the same re-tasked concept as the 1931 “Fortuny System” as published in 1931 in “Theater Art” by Victor D’Amico. This as a concept.

Overall, lively discussion and debate that at least I have learned from in sorry no easy answer but good to bring up in learning from. Thanks for posting it and guiding us even if it didn’t work out to the answer looked for. Photo of the PAR 64 lamp looks like a snowball. One vendor that perhaps still could make such a lamp is Venture. Doubt it, but below is what lamp notes I have on such lamps if of help. Note: = (ballast type)

Thread title basically say it. Anyone making a PAR64 5500K globe? Yes, could use 1/2 or full CTB or a dichroic filter, but that comes with a loss of lumens. Is there an LED PAR can made that has high CRI?
In the Film and TV we still use daylight "Blue" globes for our PAR fixtures. The globes are standard rental items through our rental houses, although they are more expensive than the standard tungsten globes, they come in 500 Watt, 1000 Watt and 1,200 Watt "Fire Starters" VNSPs. They are basically "blued" tungsten globes the color temperature is approximately 5500 deg. Kelvin, they are getting harder to find as are all non-LED globes.

Can you please give me the lamp code? Thanks..

OOOPS- I guess I am getting old I just checked with my go to lamp supplier "they don't make den any more". The WB and Paramount lamp rooms still have some limited stock, if you want I'll see if they'll rent them to an outsider.
Sorry I thought that they were still made
